Mini-ITX boards, though still decidedly niche compared to the established ATX and mATX formats, have been gaining much popularity thanks to wider adoption by motherboard makers. In the past, Mini-ITX boards were almost exclusively restricted to only Intel’s Atom and NVIDIA’s Ion platform, but with the release of Intel’s new H67 chipsets and the AMD Fusion platform, Mini-ITX boards are now more accessible and appealing than ever.

Founded in 2002, in Taiwan, Cubitek was initially a OEM company, and only became a branded manufacturer early last year. With the rise in popularity of Mini-ITX format motherboards, Cubitek has created the Mini-Tank casing, a Mini-ITX casing designed with gamers in mind.

On first impressions, the Mini-Tank certainly isn’t the smallest Mini-ITX casing we’ve come across - the shoebox-size Antec ISK300-65 we reviewed almost two years ago is much smaller. But that is understandable when you consider that the Mini-Tank boasts more features and, crucially for gamers, has been designed to accommodate full length graphics cards, up to 340mm long.
